A photograph of a man with long dark hair and a brown and gold garment with a gold border and beaded rudraksha mala stands at left, smiling as he drapes a bright orange shawl over the shoulders of a bespectacled man with a shaved head in orange robes. Behind them a banner shows portraits of many men in turbans, caps and suits, with orange and red colours and printed text. Several other figures in orange robes sit or stand in the background, including a seated person on the left in orange with a white forehead marking, and an orange-clad man on the right with a rudraksha mala. Red velvet drapes hang behind. Swamiji (probable) is the man in brown and gold with long swept-back hair and a rudraksha mala, identified by these cues, performing the honouring of a guest swami.
